Unorthodox Racing makes one for us. Check out protegegarage.com http://mazda3online.web.aplus.net/product_info.php?cPath=21_31_46&products_id=161 or PM Captain KRM P5 (http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/member.php?u=1193) on our forums. He's the owner of protegegarage.com (thumb)

If you will decide to buy this pulley, you will need to buy a set of new belts that are made by company called "Gates".

but isn't that pulley smaller, i'm not looking for a underdrive pulley, i want a same size pulley as our stock, only lighter, which would mean we could use our stock belts cause the size would be same..... thx for help tho

gotcha. Nah I don't think that anyone makes the same size UDP for our cars.....at least I never seen or heard of one. Why not just for the Unorthodox UDP? Belts will only cost few more bucks.

:( awww i thought soo, i've been trying to find one, and i kno MAM was gonna make one but than they just left???? it's not cuz of the belts price, i just wanted to have a same size pulley so that all other accessories were still powered/charged the same, most of the HP gain is gained from weight loss(80%) and not underdriving(20%) give or take few %s.... but if i dont get luckey i'll just get RR-racing pulley, i heard they were good as well (actually i alomst bought one before) .... thx for the help bro

The underdrive is pretty small - no impact to the accys me.

honestly dude.. i've spent about 2k in N/A parts over the years. You should wait until someone is selling a MSP turbo kit and jump on that.. they run about 900-1500. You'll get about 50-75whp from that with great potintal for upgrades.. Thats what i wish i woulda done. Out of all the N/A parts i've probably added about 30-40whp. I need to get it redynoed since i got a new engine.

the unorthodox underdrive pulley by definition is not actually underdrive, its just a lighter pulleyy.

i have a brand new one never installed that i'll sell to you...

yeah i know what u mean, thats why i'm just gonna try to get a lightweight crank pulley, and stop there with adding HP for now.. and i'll move on to suspension mods, so i can have more fun autoXing :)

As far as I know, the UO pulley is underdriven. There wouldn't be such a demand for a lightweight pulley if it wasn't.

SLS told me just 3 days ago that they are still planning on making one but don't know how long it will be. They have blueprints for the MAM version I believe (not 100% sure on that) but they are reworking them. If you check the last couple of posts in their Intro thread in the vendors section, you will see his response.
